WE CARE PROGRAM - BUKIT LAWANG
Dear Travel
My name is Adi luqman one of the senior guides in Bukit Lawang. Our passion is to help the local community and to ensure the rain forest is respected by locals and tourists
The We Care Program was previously set up by the people who were hit by the devastating flood in 2003. The program aimed to redevelop the villages hit by the flood and focused on replanting trees, waste collection of the debris and getting children back into education.

The program is now focusing on our new school, run by a dedicated team of local teachers. Our aim is to teach children in the local community English, key skills, about the environment And conservation, with priority given to orphans and the poorer children in the villages.
Planting trees and collecting waste after the flood in 2003
In order to provide free education proceeds from our exciting jungle trekking programs and activities in Bukit Lawang will go towards the school.
We hope you will be able to join us soon!

The School
The new school has opened this year and is situated a short 20 minute walk or 5 minutes by local transport from the main tourist area of Bukit Lawang.
A class in action
We currently teach English lessons twice a week, environment lessons and fun practical skills workshops such as building furniture, coconut shell carvings and making small bags from plastic. The school is part of a not-for-profit organisation and relies purely on donations.
Trekking for the school
As we are only able to run this program through donations we hope that you will trek with us to directly benefit the local children.
From our jungle treks and activities proceeds some will go towards the school. Donations will go towards various educational material, the urgently needed desks and chairs and other school supplies.
Volunteering
We also welcome volunteers who can help at the school English lesson and key skills.

Unfortunately we hadn’t opportunity to make a jungle track with Adi in Bukit Lawang. But I’m sure that it would be the same great adventure. Anyway, we have a reason to come back to Bukit Lawang again.
At last I want to say a few words about Adi - he is interesting, educated person and he is qualified guide with very good English and knowledge of herbs and medicines plants. But the main thing is that Adi is really good person and I’m glad to be his friend.
I want to wish good luck Adi in his job and say hello to his family :-)
Terima kasi Adi!
